There is no way he needs to run a DNS server at home. Even he his network 
grows to 10 computers, syncing 10 /etc/hosts files is not hard. That is just 
way overkill.

I have a masq box I use at home which is a 486 that has no HDD. It boots off 
a floppy. Do you think I bother running a DNS server on it?
